The journey from public submissions of original work to the voting by the General Membership Panel on this year’s top rated games, experiences, and 360 videos will culminate to the 2016 Proto Awards, set for October 8 at AVALON, Hollywood, CA. Winners will be chosen across 17 categories, such as Best Live Action Experience, Best Social Experience, Best Educational Experience, Most Innovative, and more. Produced by the Virtual Reality Foundation, which also produces the VRLA event, the Proto Awards will be recorded live in 360-degree video, of course. Comedian Ron Funches will host the event.
